Why Regular Preventative HVAC Maintenance is Important for Your System

When it comes to maintenance a good maintenance schedule is twice a year. Once in the fall to check everything with the heating side and then once in the spring to check everything on the air conditioning side. For a relatively small investment you can save money, breathe healthy and clean air.

Reasons Why HVAC Maintenance is so Important For Homeowners

For most of you out there it will be to save money. Your HVAC system is a well-engineered and complex system that in most homes utilizes around 50% of the consumed energy. If one stays on top of their maintenance they will ensure that their system is operating at its max performance.

Money Saving Examples of Proper HVAC Maintenance

Just about every residential heating and air conditioning system out there has a start and run capacitors in them. This is a very common part that fails on systems and in most cases the system will still run and keep you comfortable. In reality the system may be struggling to start up or not running at proper rated amp draws. This can cause the system to use more power and overheat the motors of the system.

Two other very common problems we want to stay on top of are refrigerant levels and clean indoor/outdoor coils. There again your system may seem to be working and keeping you comfortable but at a much higher cost on your utility bills. Eventually these examples will result in costly breakdowns.

It is said that regular HVAC maintenance will reduce the risk of costly breakdowns by as much as 95%. Also by keeping the system running at peak efficiency you can save up to 30% on your energy bill, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.

Extending The Life of Your HVAC System

Routine maintenance is very important to the life of your system. As mentioned before this well-engineered equipment is made up of many different parts that all have to work together.

System Longevity Example

If your system is operating with a low output run capacitor or low on refrigerant. This could cause a number of problems, one of them being compressor failure.

Keeping Your Family and Home Safe With Maintenance Service

We have all heard the serious health issues that carbon monoxide can cause. Gas Furnaces these days are designed with a lot of safety components in them. Its important for all of them to function properly. Preventive maintenance will check each and everyone of these components to ensure the safe operation of the furnace.

I’m sure you know someone or you have heard of someone coming home from work or back from vacation to a hot or cold home along with water damage due to the heater not working and the water lines frozen and busted. Or water damage due to the evaporator coil being frozen over. Maybe it was just the drain line stopped up. This lack of maintenance can cause you the homeowner thousands of dollars.

Improve your Comfort

We all depend on our heating and air system to keep us comfortable year round. There’s more to a system than blowing hot air in the winter and cold air in the summer. Your HVAC system also includes your duct work and ventilation. Do you have a room that stays too cold in the winter or one that stays too hot in the summer? Maybe it’s one whole side of your house. It could be that maybe during the summer time your house feels sticky and wet due to high humidity. These issues could be caused by improper maintenance. Regular maintenance will also minimize the chance of your HVAC system disturbing your quality of life with noises or unpleasant smells.

Improve The Air Quality In Your Home

The EPA reports that the indoor levels of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times higher (In extreme cases more than 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. Along with routine maintenance, keeping your filter clean will decrease the airborne pollutants. There are some other practices that your HVAC technician can help you with when it comes to controlling respiratory issues like pet dander, dust mites, pollen and mold. Such as better filtration systems, ERV systems and UV lights.

Gayle Wroclawski

We've been doing a complete renovation of our family home of 30 years to sell and retire. We also needed to make sure we had adequate insulation and have the ductwork inspected. I called Paradise Heating and Air, and found that this was a service they could provide. They were very responsive. I had an estimate within a few days and the job completed the following week. They fixed anything that could become a problem and blew in the amount of insulation to meet the current Hoover building code. Jonathan was so friendly, explained everything that was done and the cost was very reasonable. In fact he talked me out of insulating an area that wasn't really needed!!! I couldn't be happier with the service, and feel good that everything is secure and to code. I highly recommend Jonathan and Paradise Heating and Air!!

Cynthia Belyeu

We have had Jonathan and his capable team working on our A/c and Heating for several years. They are punctual, well mannered and reasonably priced. The work they have done including an A/C replacement has always been outstanding. Plus, we have appreciated their problem solving skills in helping our remaining old units get along from year to year. We are so grateful to have them a phone call away!

Brian Motley

My unit for upstairs had a major leak in the evaporation coils. Jonathan and Matthew came over and spent an hour here investigating and giving me my options. I decided to replace the whole unit and they were here on a Saturday replacing the unit. The knowledge that Jonathan possessed was second to none. The experience was excellent I will be using them again and I highly recommend them.

mohannad azzam

Great service, assessed the issue in no time. Discussed all available options, extremely professional and friendly . Appreciated the help. Provided the best price .

Dave Meyer

I was extremely impressed with Paradise Air and am very glad I found them. I have a very old HVAC system they needed some ducts and a condensate pump replaced. They were extremely thorough and clearly explained everything they planned on doing. The price was excellent given how much work they had to do in the crawlspace and the extra time they spent with me advising me on how to get as much out of my old system as I could. They weren’t there to try to sell me a new system. They were there to repair what I asked them to at a reasonable price and help me extend the life of my current system. I won’t even think of calling anyone else from now on.

Tom Brady

Paradise Heating and Air are the BEST in the area! They’re very responsive and adapted quickly to our needs. Highly Recommend!!

Lauren E Means

Paradise Heating and Air was great to work with—professional, on time, and very thorough. They communicated clearly throughout the entire process and were upfront about pricing and exactly what they discovered was wrong. I’m very pleased with their service and will definitely use them again. Being on time was a huge plus as well!

Mary Cavett

Paradise has become our go-to HVAC company. We have used them for several smaller repairs and they always provides a reasonable price and didn’t try to upsell replacing our 30 year old unit before we were ready. Then, when we were finally ready to replace our unit we got quotes from Paradise and several other companies. Paradise was by far the best value not only in terms of price but also unit brand and warranty. We even ran all of the quotes through AI and his came in 1st in terms of value, price and ROI! Great company overall - can always trust them to provide great, high quality work and reasonable prices.

Karen

Johnathan was great! We had a moisture problem in our kitchen cabinets that were on an interior wall. He spent a good amount of time figuring out what was going on, gave us a solution and answered all of our questions. A very good experience!

Steve S

I had paradise come out to get me started with their paradise maintenance package, and had them take a look at my attic because we had concerns with our insulation not being adequate. They didn’t try to over sell work I didn’t need, and were honest with what exactly was needed to get us back on track. Techs Jonathan and Matthew came out for the initial inspection and service and came back to do the attic insulation. They were patient and knowledgeable (I ask a lot of questions) and took their time. They found all the places that my system was leaking (out and in) air, fixed them, and then filled the attic. They kept the house clean and were respectful and had great attitudes the entire time. They have definitely earned my business, and I would recommend them to anyone looking for HVAC work. They are AWESOME!

Andrea Martin

5 stars! Look nowhere else for all of heating and cooling needs. Jonathan is amazing - experienced, reasonable and reliable. Look nowhere else!

Kyle & Joanna Baker

Jonathan was fantastic to work with! We had multiple quotes and opinions on some work we needed to get done and his recommendations and quote came in best and he had some recommendations others did not make that make us feel like he really cared about doing the right thing and really inspected our hvac situation. Jennifer and Gracie were also stellar! Will call them back and recommend to our friends!

Nicole Dent Travels

These guys got the job done! Came in did not try to sell me a unit but fixed my existing unit and I appreciate them so much bc it was the hottest day of the year and my unit was completely out. I recommend 💯

D. C. Smith

Replaced a furnace vent pipe and roof cap, Jonathan and Matt were competent technicians and explained everything to me clearly and the quote and the final price were the same. comparing quotes, they were very competitive and provided a high degree of professionalism on the job. Thank you very much.!

Daniel Maddox

Jonathan and the guys did a fast and efficient job fixing our ac. Always a worry when it goes out at the start of summer in Alabama. I highly recommend paradise heating and air to fix your ac problem. Communicated arrival time, explained the issue thoroughly, also didn't break the bank! Thanks again paradise!

Robin O.

Jonathan and his staff were very communicative! Would highly recommend.

Adam Myers

One of our AC units decided to give up, or so we thought. We had several companies come out and give us a quote to replace our unit, all exceeding $13k. Paradise came out, and instead of just giving a price to replace it, they asked if they could tinker with the equipment. They had it fixed within 10 minutes!!! Paradise gave us a quote so we have an idea of the cost for when this ancient unit ACTUALLY dies, and it was $3k-$8k cheaper than our other quotes!!! They could have easily just given us a price for a new unit like everyone else. I appreciate that Paradise put forth the effort to figure out the problem, and saved us THOUSANDS!!!

Blake

We recently bought a home and right away one of the AC units failed. Of course it was after hours (do AC units ever fail not after hours?). I called Paradise Heating and Air and they dispatched quickly, diagnosed the problem, and had us cool and running again before the kids were even in bed. Jonathan figured out the issue fast, and the quality of work and the cleanup afterward were truly noticeable. They've become our go-to HVAC company, always a notch above on service and workmanship. If you need emergency AC repair or any HVAC work in Vestavia Hills or anywhere in the Birmingham area, don't hesitate to reach out to this team. Love working with them!

Donna Butler
